If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Fietkau commit 76591bea9714a58d8924154068c78d702eb2cb17 upstream. The rate pointer variable for a rate series is used in a loop before it is initialized. This went unnoticed because it was used earlier for the RTS/CTS rate. This bug can lead to the wrong PHY type being passed to the duration calculation function. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau Signed-off-by: John W.
